This version fixes one major bug where the game would go into an infinite loop in post-election negotiations, and some other small improvements related mostly to offers.
Barring any major bugs, the next version will be an official release.
You can download it here for Windows. A Mac version will be released within a few days.
Note: Requires you already have the game installed.
Feedback welcome!

Thanks for this. Will France 2017 still be included in the PI update?
The initial PI update mostly will be to consolidate existing game engine changes seen in PMI – no France 2017.
However, a France 2017 is still planned once two-round is added.
@Anthony thank you for those improvements and your work, that’s great. I just want to remind you that you told us we will have a France 2017 scenario with a two round system in may 2017. Since more than 5 months, i’m waiting for that. I know you are working on other things but i wanted to draw your attention on that point, i think i’m not alone in this case. Faithfully !

@Tom,
Yes, the PMI UK update has taken some time. It’s almost time to focus again on PI.
🙂
@Anthony, how long will it take for two-round to be implemented? I’m just curious.
@NYRep,
We shall see. Two-round and Australian preferences use the same mechanism – you have to figure out which voters go where after a party is eliminated, and Australian preferences are in a way an (instantaneous) n-round system.
Please add the editor edits to PMI-Canada to PMI-UK..
All Editor updates are in PMI UK, with the exception of allowing for a minority government or not. That will be added to PMI UK with its next update.
